INNOVATIVE METHODS AND IT TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TEACHING OF MODERN LANGUAGES AT THE ECONOMIC UNIVERSITY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF TEACHING UKRAINIAN AND POLISH LANGUAGES AS FOREIGN)

The article presents the specific character of teaching foreign languages – "Ukrainian as a foreign language" and "Polish as a foreign language" – for students-economists at Kiev National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman. The basic assumptions of these disciplines are the principle of regularity, the orientation on achieving linguistic communication, and familiarizing students with vocational vocabulary. Disciplines are aimed at teaching practical knowledge of Ukrainian and Polish as foreign languages, shaping cultural (real-life) competences and familiarizing with the normative principles of functioning of these languages in various communication situations. Particular attention is also paid to the use of innovative methods and IT technologies in language education of a modern economic university (case study method, project method, metaplan method in teaching Polish and Ukrainian languages as foreign).
